RLCP - Research Library Cooperative Program

Hours

About

UCB faculty, academic staff and graduate students can borrow directly from the Stanford University Library using the Research Library Cooperative Program (RLCP). Eligible patrons may also visit Stanford and UT Austin in person, and check out library material.

Eligibility

UCB faculty, academic staff and graduate students are eligible for the program.

All other UCB patrons, including undergraduates and visiting scholars, are not eligible.

Pick up materials

RLCP patrons will be notified when Stanford loans are available for pick-up at the Main Circulation Desk in Doe Library, in about a week. UT Austin loans may be picked up at the Interlibrary Services department, 133 Doe Library. Articles will be posted to the web and a secure link and access information will be emailed to the address provided when the request was made.

Return materials

UC Berkeley users should return RLCP material from Stanford via the Book Return chute at the Main Circulation Desk in Doe Library. UT Austin material should be returned to Interlibrary Services, 133 Doe Library. Users are responsible for materials until they have been returned to the library from which they were borrowed. We recommend you ask for a receipt at the Circulation Desk when returning materials. This will absolve you of responsibility for payment if an item becomes lost in the return process.
